The camera reveals a wide-angle shot of the Xalisko dining room and bar from the front left corner of the building. There are a number of solid wooden tables that seat and are plated for four. The bar is covered in white, brown, and turquoise tiles shaped like flowers. In the back right of the frame is the rest of the dining room. The back wall features images of colorful corn cobs. On the ceiling is a long art piece of many interconnecting crocheted hexagonal panels. The panels alternate in colors of turquoise, lime green, dark forest green, and orange.

The camera faces the Memorial Hermman The Woodlands Medical Center's "Proud Souls" art bench, which looks like two large metal waves or wings spreading inward over the bench. Sitting on the bench is Linda Nelson and her husband. Behind and around them are their three children with their partners and seven children. Everyone is dressed in dressy-casual clothes in some shade of white, gray, or pale blue, and everyone (except a few runaway toddlers) is smiling and waving at the camera. In the background is The Woodlands Waterway and a beautiful wooded area on the opposite shore.
